#1895GuideGun

No matter your age, geographic location, or mission, there is a definite utility in a quality lever action rifle. Typically a blend of blued steel and wood, a lever gun has a comfortable feel, classic lines, and a sort of historic presence that everyone can love. It inspires confidence, safety, and the ability to provide. Sure we can debate caliber selections – everything from .22LR up to .45-70 Gov’t – but a lever action rifle has maintained most of its original usefulness over the past 150+ years of common use. Today we are going to talk about the return of a classic: the Ruger Marlin 1895 Guide Gun. This is a capable rifle that can be used for hunting, backcountry protection or for just owning a little piece of America.

The Marlin Model 1895 Guide Gun is back! Reintroduced by Ruger, chambered in .45-70 Govt. it’s been dressed up in a brown laminate stock with crisp checkering. The cold hammer-forged barrel is 19″ long and has a 1:20” twist. The metal has a non-glare, blued, satin finish and the bolt has been nickel-plated for reliability. If you like to use a suppressor or another type of muzzle device, the barrel comes with an 11/16”- 24 threading.
